초록

This paper argues that Marxist historiography has encountered serious problems in fulfilling its promise of producing a theoretical framework for a universal human history and makes a preliminary examination of three Marxist theories that can help to overcome these problems. It begins by looking at the problem of Eurocentrism in historiography in general and how Marxist history has thus far been unable to break through the Eurocentrist impasse. Focusing on the problem of how to integrate East Asian history into historical materialism, an overview of Korean historiography is offered as an illustration of some of the symptomatic problems. The paper then considers in turn the theories of uneven and combined development, the tributary mode of production and bourgeois revolution from above, arguing that they need to be developed and systematically combined to draw Marxist historiography out of the impasse of Eurocentrism and toward a universalist human history.

Abstract

This paper argues that Marxist historiography has encountered serious problems in fulfilling its promise of producing a theoretical framework for a universal human history and makes a preliminary examination of three Marxist theories that can help to overcome these problems. It begins by looking at the problem of Eurocentrism in historiography in general and how Marxist history has thus far been unable to break through the Eurocentrist impasse. Focusing on the problem of how to integrate East Asian history into historical materialism, an overview of Korean historiography is offered as an illustration of some of the symptomatic problems. The paper then considers in turn the theories of uneven and combined development, the tributary mode of production and bourgeois revolution from above, arguing that they need to be developed and systematically combined to draw Marxist historiography out of the impasse of Eurocentrism and toward a universalist human history.
